The new railway budget is out and the whole country seems to be in a jolly mood , well that is what the government thinks . Like every other Railway Minister Mr. Pawan Bansal too has come up with new schemes and promises .Some promises seem promising while others were just meant to satisfy the readers . Free Wi-Fi was one of the highlights of the budget . Mr.Bansal announced that free wifi services will be available in few special trains soon. Who cares about the filthy toilet or the unhygienic food when you are being offered free wifi services with no guarantee of network !
With God's grace there is no hike in the fares and the common man can still afford to travel in the trains though travelling in AC 1 might seem like a dream . Going to my native place was something i looked forward to in my childhood days because i got to travel in train . Peeping out of the windows was my favorite hobby and trust me flights can't beat that !
I really appreciate Mr. Bansal's youthful idea of introducing wifi yet i couldn't suppress my urge to ask Mr. Bansal , the man behind this idea the following questions
1. How much speed will it offer ?
2. Taking into account India's geographic and demographic condition won't there be a network problem ?
3.Will every compartment offer sockets to recharge phones or laptops ?
4. Is the government compromising with cleanliness and safety by introducing wifi ?
and last but not the least , WHY WI-FI ?
I hope Mr. Bansal is listening !
I agree that the services provided by Indian railways is not as per foreign railways and the government is coming up with new techniques to bridge the gap but little does it realize that the gap is huge and Mr. Bansal must not hasten . Urgency will lead to carelessness which in turn will lead to turmoil .
Anurag Takur described the budget as “The Rae-Bareli Railway Budget"
.Well I am nobody to comment on his statement or justify his statement
yet i couldn't cease myself from thinking . Should Dinesh Trivedi have
resigned ? Well the "aam janta" isn't supposed to answer , therefore
let us just pay the harsh fares of railways and croon 'gaadi bula rahi hai seeti bajaa rahi hai' .....
